This achievement and its follow-ups are named after the Templar dialogues from Diablo III, specifically when you kill a rare or champion mob.

GLORIOUS!

If we can dabble away from the D3 jokes for now, does anyone on the beta have experience on what these champions are? Like if they are simply rare elites that can be solo'd or if they are more of a world boss/5-man encounter?

I found one of the mobs needed to attain this achievement tonight in the small cave behind the Dooker Dome that houses the statue for "The Hozen's Rage". The mob was a Hozen names Scritch. He is a fairly tough encounter to solo, requiring several tries and using extensive CD's as a Frost mage. After several attempts, and a strategy change (tip: keep him inside the cave or else you'll have more hozen on your hands than you can handle), he was killed. He dropped a Pipa della Pace degli Hozen, a Sacchetto di Beni, and a pair of BoP plate bracers. Be prepared for a challenge when attempting these mobs, as this example is likely par for the course.

The rare elites will drop between 1 and 3 items when killed. Each elite will always drop a piece of Rare BoP Armor, and has a small chance to drop a Sacchetto di Beni.If you're lucky they will also drop one of the items listed below, each one specific to that elite.

Townlong: Near the entrance to the cave of fear, west of Niuzao Temple.

See my other comment for the full list of the elites and their locations / loot.You can find full maps of all the locations listed near the bottom of the this guide.

There are 8 different types of rare elite you can face, and one of each type in every zone.They vary in level by zone starting at level 85 and cap out at level 91 with 4 million HP.They currently give around 150-300k exp (level depending) and have approximatly a 1 hour respawn time.

They do little damage through their auto attacks (around 5k), so one of the best tactics even for ranged dps is to stay in melee to avoid their stronger ranged attacks, but be ready to heal if you start taking any of their special attacks. Some of them like Nanners and Ai-ran can be a nice rewarding challenge to solo when you get to 90.Grinlok is the only elite that shares aggro with the others around him, and his wont respawn immediatly if you kill some allow him to reset.When ever possible it is always best to fight them in an open area free of other mobs, you'll want the space to avoid their aoe abilities. Don't hesitate to use all your major cooldowns, the fight can quickly turn on you even just from lag.They range in difficulty depending on your class and the type of enemy, from the Mogu Sorcerers being trivialy easy, to the Panderan and the Jinyu being significantly harder and almost impossible without an interrupt or a good stun.

Hozen:Bananata - Creates a whirling banana that spins along the ground away from him in a line and then back again causing Bananata to anyone in it's path, move to the side rather than away.Sudiceria - Increasing damage on you by up to 11% depending on the elites level.Inscimmiato - Causes him to jump around the area dealing damage with Inscimmiato if he lands on you. Will rarely hit you if you're near gis start point before he starts jumping.

Jinyu:Dardo d'Acqua - Basic spell damage main attack that needs to be soaked (do not waste interrupt).Torrente - (25% hp per second) A cast time and then a channeled attack that will kill his main target unless major cooldowns are used. Needs to be interrupted.Danza della Pioggia - A channeled aoe that throws out blobs of water in the area around him, simply run away from them to avoid the damage, or stun him mid cast.

If you're using a macro to help you find an elite, or if you're afk spamming a macro, try adding this second macro to hit at the same time. It will tell you audibly when you've found an elite. Otherwise if you're afk and have chat time stamps on you can use it to find an elites spawn time. In case it helps your timing, a dead mob with no loot on it will despawn in 2 minutes, and one with a blue item left on it will despawn in 30.(Yes I'm painfully aware npcscan will make this redundant)

Spawns and stays at Kota Peak, on a location that overlooks the great wall. Don't have coordinates addon installed, sorry.

Had a frontal cone attack, hit repeatedly for 71k on a mage. He doesn't move or turn while doing this cone attack, so you can sidestep it.He casts a "hand of freedom" spell on himself making him immune to roots and snares for a short duration. Non spellstealable or dispellable.He casts a small tornado on your location that paths in a circular path around the area where it spawned (around 8 yard diameter) and grows shortly after cast into a bigger tornado. If you are caught by this bigger tornado you are dealt 70k damage per second and thrown in the air, unable to move out. The tornado lasts for quite a long time (more than 15 seconds). Multiple such tornados (I saw 3) can be up at the same time, making the area a bit chaotic to navigate. They despawn upon his death.

That's all, I'll see if I can post a picture of the location on the npc page.

Thanks once again to all the contributers here and in game. I hope no one mistakes the summation of this info as anything other than a group effort.

Commento di Blorgishbas

The "Champions" are Rare mobs out in pandaria. They drop rare quality items that have fairly unique uses and are similar to the rare items that come from archaeology. A list of them is posted in these comments by Lore.

Ran into Morgrinn Crackfang in the Terrace of Ten Thunders while doing the quest where you collect the bowl & some other things around the area. He had a silver dragon around his nameplate & I didn't have time to see how much hp he had as he started attacking me right away. Solo'd him as an 85 shadow priest (he is immune to Psychic Horror) - keep your shield up and pop renew every once in awhile, he pulls out a pet to help him fight (Quilen Stonemaw) and once you kill the pet, he brings out another one. Best thing to do is kite him around & focus fire him, he summons spikes out of the ground that do approximately 40-49k if you're standing in it when it erupts - so stay out of it. There is a chance to pull adds as they are pretty close together, so be careful.

(later on that night...)Ran into Blackhoof in the Valley of the Four Winds (submitted picture) - got a good look at him prior to downing him (as a Shadow Priest again, this time level 86) he had 1536k hp - he did roughly the same thing as the last elite spawn Morgrinn Crackfang that I mentioned running into earlier today. Spikes erupt out of the ground, so make sure you kite out of it. He does a charge too, so watch for that. Other than, he was pretty easy to take down (he didn't spawn any extra NPC adds like Crackfang did). He dropped:

All items can be used by level 85s so if you are doing this achievement but don't need the gear then it's a cool idea to take a low level with you if you can get them there (summon or multi-seater mount).

This is the kind of gaming content that I love. My main made it through all quests in the Jade Forest without being killed. Died 5 times the first time I ran into one of these guys. Loved the challenge; I needed to use everything in my kit bag to solo this. Sure, vendoring the blue barely covered the repairs, but it was fun.
